Flash drying is defined as the drying of particles that are suspended and conveyed in a hot air stream.
Applications include products like sludge, filter cakes, slurries, crystals, granules and pastes; in fact, almost any material where a powdered product is required.
Typical product references for flash drying range from aspirin and copper concentrate to lithium compounds, starches and polymers.
